The Facts:
Judd Zulgad of the Minneapolis Star Tribune tweets that Sage Rosenfels opened team drills as the second-team quarterback, which means that Tarvaris Jackson started off as the starter. Zulgad later tweeted that Rosenfels was getting the first-team work.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Subsequent tweets by a number of observers suggest that Jackson was the more impressive of the two. ... Jackson was the Week 1 starter in 2008. But he was quickly benched in favor of Gus Frerotte, who kept the job until he was injured late in the year. Jackson returned and played well, until the playoffs. Rosenfels has been a solid understudy in Houston, although he developed a reputation for reckleness, due in large part to his role in the squandering of a 17-point lead against the Colts. Whatever the case, the post-Brett Favre QB battle in Minnesota is officially on.
